If you're looking for a really good adventure book buy this one! I practically breath books so I'm always looking for new books (especially childrens books even though I'm 16!) and I'm so glad I found this one! Ooli the mermaid is a great character, and it even tells you about different spiecies of mermaid to cover every legend!
